elderly man in the skullcap 无沿便帽 He was obviously much older than other students at Central Adult High School And he was an Anglo on a campus where most students are Latinos blacks and Asian Americans I asked myself what he was doing here says Ibarra 21 of Los Angeles I thought he was a volunteer The first time I talked to him I asked a question in English and he answered in Spanish I thought he was white and Jewish I never imagined that he would speak Spanish Jacob Blitzstein surprised his fellow students all the time He isn t some stuffy guy though he wears his neat gray beard and conservative traditional clothes Blitzstein is warm and gregarious enjoys being with others He likes to hear a good joke and loves to tell a good story He is determined especially when it comes to pursuing his dream Recently that dream came true At a ceremony attended by two of his children and three grandchildren Blitzstein 81 graduated from high school After Principal Lanny Nelms handed him the diploma 证书 and announced his age Blitzstein waved to the audience and cried And why not He s probably the oldest Central High graduate since the school opened in 1974 Although no records of such things are kept a Los Angeles district spokesman says Blitzstein is the oldest graduate he s ever heard of Earning his diploma took 10 years during which the retired store owner suffered a stroke 中风 and two bouts of pneumonia had two pacemakers 心脏起搏器 installed and lost his wife and two brothers He kept to his task for a reason School is the best medicine you can have he says You have something on your mind a goal With his diploma in hand Blizstein states that he s not through yet You know something I m going to college he told a visitor recently He has checked out West Los Angeles and Santa Monica community colleges and says he hopes to transfer from there to a four year school It s not a joke he says If I live to the year 2006 maybe I ll be a doctor 49 What was Jacob Blizstein s dream A

Stuffy in the 4th paragraph means A old fashionedB respectableC narrow mindedD fat C Where is that noise coming from Not sure Try living with your eyes closed for a few years Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see a new study says Without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away Twenty three blind people participated in the study All had been sightless for at least 20 years Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11 The rest went blind after age 16 The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blindfolds In one task volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 meters away When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front both groups performed equally well When sounds came from the side or the back however the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life or death for blind people say the researchers Crossing the street for instance is much harder when you can t see the cars coming Still the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did especially those who went blind after age 16 In another experiment the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11 These brain parts didn t show sound location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people The scientists now want to learn more about the workings of brains of late onset blind people 53 The recent study shows blind people are better at telling A the sources of loud soundsB the locations of distant sounds C the direction of sharp soundsD the distance of a sound in front of them 54 Which would be a proper title for the passage A A research on Blind PeopleB Where is That Noise Coming From C Hearing Better in the DarkD What If Living Without Your Eyes 55 Which of the following statement is true A The researchers are quite sure about the workings of brains of late onset blind people B People who were blind before age 11 are better at crossing the street than those after 16 C Parts of the brain of those who went blind by age 11 became active in locating sound D The blind folded performed better at locating sounds in front 56 If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side who would perform best A Those who are blind B Those who have gone blind since children C Those who went blind at age 16 D Those who are blindfolded D Accidents are caused they don t just happen The reason may be easy to see an overloaded tray a shelf out of reach a patch of ice on the road But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune frustration tiredness or just bad temper that show what the accident really is a sort of attack on oneself Road accidents for example happen frequently after a family quarrel and we all know people who are accident prone so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others By definition an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid and the idea which used to be current that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers is not supported by insurance statistics These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness It is not always clear either what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident For instance the law requires all factories to take safety actions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed but still every day in Britain some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment noise and fatigue boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much usually people who have a high anxiety level run three times the normal risk of accidents at work 57 This passage might be taken from A a text bookB a science story C a popular magazineD a report of a businessman 58 Accident prone here in Paragraph 2 means A likely to have accidentsB injured in accidents C likely to die in accidentsD responsible for road accidents 59 The passage suggests that A accidents mostly result from slippery roads B accidents are usually caused by psychological factors C doctors run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories D about 50 000 people lost their lives at work in Britain every day 60 Which of the following is NOT discussed as a factor of accidents in this passage A MoodB CarelessnessC TirednessD Weather 61 What do you think would be the best title for the passage A Accidents and AnxietyB How accidents Are Caused C Human Factors in AccidentsD How to Prevent Accidents E Dreams Making Them Work for Us Several nights a week Joseph woke up screaming from the same terrible dream Joseph could never recall his whole dream though He only remembered that someone was running after him Joseph was trying to get away but in his dream he could not move He continued having this nightmare for months He was so tired in the morning that it was hard for him to go to work Milton Kramer a psychiatrist and dreamer researcher found that people wake up feeling very discouraged after they have a bad dream while after having a good dream people feel more optimistic Clearly dreams can have harmful or beneficial effects As a result Kramer believes that we need to learn how to change our bad dreams Before we can begin to change a nightmare however we first have to remember what happened in our dream Actually there are many ways to do this We can keep a journal or diary of what we do when we are awake Then before going to sleep we can review our day As we begin to fall asleep we should remind ourselves that we want to remember our dreams When we wake up we should lie still while we try to remember our dream We should also try to remember an important word or picture from the dream This image makes the rest of the dream easier to remember Finally if we have trouble remembering dreams we can try sleeping later The longer we sleep the longer and clearer our dreams will be Dr Rosalind Cartwright is a dream researcher too She has developed another dream treatment for changing dreams According to Dr Cartwright dream treatment involves four simple steps The first step is to recognize when you care having a bad dream that will make you feel helpless or upset the next morning The second step i
